We are in an extremely crowded internet market and found that ppc ads worked well for a few products, but for most of our products it was expensive and resulted in very few conversions. We also purchased software to analyze our site and competitor sites for search engine optimization and have been very successful in getting niche keywords to the top of the search engines (we're still working on the general, more competitive keywords). The software was the best $250 we have spent, by far.

This is stuff I've tried on one of my websites www.romanvirdi.com: - Search engines. To get them to rank high, your site needs to be search-engine optimized (hire a pro) and you need other good sites to link to you - Pay-per-click advertising from Google, Yahoo and Microsoft (yes MS in in the game too) - Exposure in off- or online media can generate huge traffic spikes. This might even propel you into Alexa's hit-list which will generate more traffic - Referring links from other high-traffic websites (paid or free links) - (Teaser) ads in offline media.

Breathalyzers is pretty sharp niche so just adding more interesting contents on this subject and maybe spicing it with multimedia, such as videos would help on an ongoing basis. If you already managed to assemble community of interested people around your products - then i'd strongly suggest to open "discussion forum" section on your site. Forum is something that often (but not always though) lives and grows by itself, generating new and unique contents and attracting new participants. Active forum could rank pretty high on search engines (especially for niche topics like yours) and hence could attract lots of extra highly targeted traffic.

Putting URLs on tchotkes? The number of visitors you'll draw from that oh-so-subtle bit of promotion will be tiny. Or, you'll distribute so many of them that you'll break the bank -- and still, you can count on converting a ridiculously small number of the people who get the giveaway. Far, far better is to use the Web itself to promote your own Web presence. Hello, Google?
